AURORA-3: 3 PERSON PRIVATE SUBMARINE

AURORA PRIVATE SUBMARINE TECHNOLOGY

SEAmagine's innovative Aurora private submarine, or personal submersible, technology is a new approach to personal submersible design, maximizing the field of view of the private submarine spherical cabin and providing an unparalleled vista. The occupants aboard this personal submersible have a view, unobstructed by top hatches and side pontoons that provides the sensation of entering the underwater world, as opposed to simply observing it. When floating at surface the private submersible has a high freeboard to dock to a yacht with a stable platform for people to walk on. Telescopic handrails come up from the top deck of the personal submarine to provide a safe environment for people to board from a yacht in a variety of sea states. The Aurora private submersible offers a solid and straight back stern designed to securely dock to the yacht at surface, further improving safety and logistics.

Optimal Geometry

UNRIVALLED PRIVATE SUBMARINE FIELD OF VIEW

The Aurora private submarine field of view is greatly enhanced by moving the access hatch away from the top of the window into a separate compartment behind the personal submersible main cabin. The personal submarine’s unique ability to tilt at surface provides an extremely stable platform for boarding from a yacht and does not require obtrusive forward pontoons that severely restrict peripheral viewing. A specifically designed aft section on the private submersible provides an ideal docking configuration that can be firmly secured to a yacht, as opposed to some awkward geometry. This well thought out approach for private subs, derived from experience is important in ensuring safety and comfort for boarding the personal submarine from a yacht, even in rough sea conditions.

SURFACE OPERATIONS

SAFE SUBMARINE BOARDING

When floating at surface, the Aurora private submarine or personal submersible offers a solid and stable platform with a high freeboard and a horizontal walking deck, assisted with telescoping hand rails, to guide the boarding process from a yacht to the large top hatch. The purposely designed stern provides a secure docking arrangement for the personal submarine to enhance the convenience of the boarding process from a yacht, important for rough weather operation.

Easy Entry Configuration

COMFORTABLE SUBMARINE CONFIGURATION

THE AURORA private submarine or personal submersible has a staircase from the top deck to the passenger seats. The personal submarine is tail up when at surface and the top deck is horizontal. In this configuration the private submersible cabin seats are tilted back so that occupants are sitting horizontally. The center pilot seat in the private submarine folds away during boarding from a yacht to provide a clear passage for passengers to and from the staircase. Once the yacht passengers have boarded the private sub and the hatch is closed, the personal submersible will submerge and its angle will change to a horizontal attitude once underwater. Accordingly, the cabin seats of the private sub return to a horizontal position for the remainder of the dive.

SEAmagine Submersible Pilot Training Program

SEAmagine provides a well-structured personal submersible pilot training program developed over many years and initial developed in conjunction with the US Coast Guard. The program includes supporting the private or personal submersible's initial setup on a yacht and train private submarine pilots as well as support crews to handle personal submersible operations as well as handle general maintenance or the private subs.

THE AURORA SUBMERSIBLE UNIQUE BOARDING ARRANGEMENT

The Aurora private submarine's unique entry configuration from a yacht provides a safe horizontal deck with rails leading to a large hatch with a gentle staircase that leads passengers to the personal submersible's seats. This configuration offers the yacht passengers a stair case with a 70 Degree angle from the top deck down to the private sub cabin floor, with hand rails on the top deck walking area, on the top stairs leading to the hatch and on the stairs inside the submarine. At surface, the personal submarine adopts a tail up attitude giving a horizontal walking deck, and is docked aft to the yacht. The large docking rail on the private sub ensures a secure docking configuration for tie down to the yacht. The top deck hand rails are raised for walking on the personal sub and lowered for diving.
